- D. It increases genetic diversity through recombination.
Answer
The correct answer is It creates genetically identical daughter cells that replace damaged cells..
Explanation
The correct answer is "It creates genetically identical daughter cells that replace damaged cells." because it directly answers "Explain why mitosis is important for growth and repair.". In Mitosis, the safest GCSE Biology approach is to identify the relevant cell biology idea, explain it with precise vocabulary, and reject options that are vague, off-topic, or from another part of the specification. This version focuses on Mitosis within Cell division and uses the question reference 2dac39 to keep the explanation distinct.
